THE GOODMAN WILL SUSTAINED.
A Dead Mans TestamenS Allowed to Rob
His Widow and Daughter

A Boston despatch says the Goldman
will case has come to an end and Violet
kimball has won. Judge Mckim of the
Suffolk County Probate Court has order
ed decree to be entered sustaining the
will of the late John Amory Goldman
sound mind, and that there was no undue
influence on the part Of the much talked
of Mrs. k.mball. An appeal from this
decision will undoubtedly be made. The
estate of Mr.. Goldman Is estimated at
about s4l3,000. Under the will there is
given to Mrs. Goldman outright 5000, and
to Mrs kimball $40, 900. The sum of $50.
600 is also to be held in trust for one Mary
Burditt, which would leave a residue of
$3.50, certain legacies having lapsed
This residue is to be divided into two
parts, and each part, amounting to Sl14,
600, is to be held in trust, one for Mrs
Goldman during her life and the other for
Miss Goldman, the daughter, during her
life.
II is, therefore, possible that Mrs. Kim
ball will receive, under the will, the in
come of S2S2 ,0o0, in addition to the $40, OOO
bequeathed to her sole and separate use
and also two notes amounting to about
$4,000, Should Mary Burditt die before
Mrs kimball her legacy goes to the re-
Sldue, which may become the property of
Mrs. Kimball, so that there Is further
possibility that Mrs. Kimball may receive
the income of 100000 beside the $40 OO(
and the notes for Sl3 600. 1t is estimated
! by the counsel for the contestants that in
fourteen years Mr.. Goldman paid SIS, 600 tc

R4FLROAD MATTERS.

t is pretty we'll settled that the Cha.
.eaugay road viii be extended to Saranac
axe Uhis summer. The survey has been
eqJ n. and work is to commence imme-
d;&tely The road will run on the west
;.ia OF Loon lake and Round pond, thence
up the east shore of Rainbow lake, with a
&epot at the head for Rainbow and Paul
Smiths, thence bearing east to point
tour miles from Bloomingdale, where
here will be a depot for that place. thence
south directly TO Saranac Lake village,
igus reaching the very heart of the Adir
oadacks. The Northern Adirondack rail
road company also proposes to extend its
Inc up the east side of the So. Regis river
10 within two and half miles of Paul
smiths thence skirting the base of st.
Regis mountain, passing within three
-llile of the head of Upper Saranac lake
% TTpper's lake. There is strong rivalry
oe1 w.en the two roads, and each is de
sEfmined TO ontdo the other in affording
facilities for reaching the Adirondacks.
There is talk of opening route to Bos-
0or for Canadian travel by the Delaware
aud Hudson and Fltchburg Railroad com.
panes. BY the Rutland and Washington
branch of the former road, it is rumored,
from Whitehall close connections with the
Eitchburg road at Eagle Bridge will be
made. The proposed connection would
open s shorter route for travel from the

four years under unparalleled abuse and
was encouraged by little praise, bur never
murmured. 1t saw all its corps and dlvi-
sion commanders sign petition to the
pl esident to remove its general, and then
desparngly but herocally marched to
certain disaster at his order, At last this
immortal army of Cromwellian descent, of
Viking ancestry and the blood of Brian
Boru, had at its head a great captain who
had never lost a battle, and whom Presi
dent Lincoln had freed from political med
ding and the interference OF civil author
tiles. Every morning for thirty days came
the orders to storm the work in front, and
every evening for thirty nights the sur
vivors moved to the command, "By the
right flank, forward march," and at the
end of that fatefu month, with sixty
thousand comrades dead or wounded in
the Wilderness. the Army of the Potomac
once more, after four years, saw the spires
of Richmond. InfieXil lie of purpose, IN
sensible to suffering, Injured to fatigue
and reckless of danger, it rained blow ON
blow upon its heroic nut staggering foe,
and the world gained new and better
and freer and more enduring republic
than it had ever known in the surrender
of AppomatoX.

passions OF the Civil war, put ont their
victorious arms 10 the south ana sad,

The EMIGRANT COMPANY
DO BUSINESS AS A BANK WITHOUT
AFFORDlNG SECURITY.
asisSraceful Disclosures Made Before the
Emigration Commissioners-Dep
Of over $3.50, OOO-One Man Fur
nishes the Security.

INV YORK, July Sat to-day's meet
az Of the board of emigration commits
7siiouers, Mr. Stephenson said he had dis
covered the existence of a concern styl
Ing itself the American Emigrant com
pany at No. 80 State street. which had re-
oeived deposits amounting to S350,0OO
from emigrants. 1t could produce no ar
$acles of incorporation and the man who
was apparently running the concern. one
]. c. Slavery, had admitted to Stephenson
that the depostors had no security except
ais individual credit.
The concern advertises for deposits in
he papers printed in foreign languages
throughout the country and sends agents
into Castle Garden to solicit deposits per
sonally from immigrants. 1t had rede-
posted some of its deposits in various
New York banks in the name of j. c.
slavery of Des Moines, la. One depositor
who suspected that some thing was
wrong tried to draw out $4,000, but was
obliged to take part of it in bonds of the
Missouri concern in which Slavery is in
crested.
The company was known up to last
September as the American Emigrant
company of Hartford and Bartholomew,
Jhe Charter Oak Insurance president, was
ahe president when Bartholomew fled to
Canada after wrecking the Charter Oak
it is claimed he took with him a part OF
the funds of the Emigrant company
and Slavery and q man named j. c.
Callahan then bought out the concern
and ostensibly assumed all liabilities
Slavery says he invests the deposits in
Western lands and that he has $500, 900
worth of land SO acquired. He claims
that the certificates of deposit show that
ohe depositors are secured, but Stephen
son exhibited certificate for $50 which
he had himself deposited and 1t is simply
a receipt for so much One Warner is the
manager for Slavery, but will give no infor-
nation about the business. Stephenson
thought it strange that this business had
been going on for 20 years and none of the
Castle Garden officials had ever reported
( 90 the board. Another man named
.Stromson at - State street runs a private
amigrant deposit concern on about the
same plan, but on Il smaller scale. He
seems to be honest, but the depositors have
10 security.
stephenson suggests rule prohibiting
a! persons except authorized railway rep
resentatiVes from transacting business
with the emigrautS inside the building
and that the names and business of all
persons having access to the building be
reported to the board. Stephenson was
also instructed to lay facts before the city
and State authorities.

PRESIDENT CLLVELAND'S LETTER.
The Feeling in Relation to 1t at Washing
ton-St. Louis Sentiment

a Washington despatch says that the
presidents letter created great interest in
political and army circles. The general
opinion seems to be that ii is strong po-
litical letter, and will improve Cleveland's
chances for re election. A few persons
thought the president took Il narrow view
OF the disatfectiOn among the malcon-
tents of the Il. a. r., aud said he SHOULD
have gone to st. Louis inasmuch as in his
letter he stated that he did not hold the
Grand Army as a body responsible for
the discontinued feeling against him.
Gen. >. >. Burdett, eX-commauder in
chief of the q. A. X. said think the letter
is Il happy termination for the president
ana Grand Army of Il situation which was
deplOred as much inside of the latter body
as out OF it. The whole controversy was
unfortunate, but the SURROUNDINGS had
become so complicated regarding the
presidents proposed visit, that his with
drawal, in the way he announces it, will
be generally regarded by Grand Army
men as fortunate occurrence. They will
be glad that the refusal of the president
to visit the camp is made so honorable to
himself Under no circumstances could
there be imputed to the president the least
blame in the matter. The letter is strong
politically and most timely ending OF
what promised to be delicate and embar-
RAISING situation.
Gen. Lander Post No. >, G. A. r., of
Lynn. Mass, which arrived last night
from Virginia, called on the president this
evening, preceded by its drum corps. The
post was received in the east room. When
the president came down to receive them,
Post Commander Walker proposed three
cheers for Grover Cleveland, president of
the United States. The veterans gave
three cheers and a tiger" The president
witha smile addressed his visitors as fol
lows:
| can only say to YOU gentlemen, that
| am glad to meet you. | have extended
to you this courtesy as have lately with
much pleasure to the other posts of the
Grand Army of the Republic on their way

no confidence in the Grand Army of the
Republic rs an organization, notwithstand
ing recent occurrences to which it is not
necessary further to allude. 1t is incompre-
hensible to me that men who have risked
their lives to save the government should
refuse to abate one jot or little OF the
respect and support which every good cit
zen owes to the government and conSti-
tuted authorities. ! greet you then as cit
